Tour de France starts 4:40am Sat via NBC Sports


Jul 6, 2018, 1:57 PM

and i’ve been in training recently 3-4 days a week riding 2-3 miles on my $255 Schwinn street bike with 7 gears & many tension settings plus an added thin $165 Italian Leather Saddle to protect my Undercarriage since it’s cut out in the middle (actually hasn’t worked all that well).

On the way I’ve met riders (cyclists) with $4500 bikes with real tiny tires & teeny round pedal bases which attach to bottom of your custom shoes with magnets (can you believe that!) who ride 10-100 miles a weekend which has made me feel rather amateurish.

But..i’m ready to sit back in the recliner for over 2 weeks with a cool beverage with finger chow to watch the bikers, fans with their national flags, beautiful terrain & villages & castles, ceremonies with stunning young wimmens giving out trophies (actually colorful shirts)..

and in a couple of weeks it’s into Paris on a sunny Sunday morn for final finish line..with Champaigne toasts.

Me too Bill. I'm sure we're in the minority on this bored. Just one thing. They're cyclist. Bikers have motors. :)

Who do you want to see excel in the various disciplines/terrains? Sprints, TTs, high mountains, cobbles, etc.?

Vive Peter Sagan and Go Tigers!

The Colombian rider from the Quick Step team will win a lot of stages. I actually got to see him win the Long Beach stage in the Tour of California.

I'd like to see Quintana win the whole thing. I don't mind Froome, but he is not that interesting. I actually don't care about the controversy of him taking too much of his asthma drug. Idk.

It should be a really interesting route. There will be a team time-trial in stage 3 and a cobble stage in the first week.

Doping the France is about the only sporting event I care less about than soccer.

beginning to start. Love the Tour for the same reasons I love college football...tradition, pageantry, passion from fans and athletes, strategy, team work, toughness.

The way the announce team frame and call each stage to the finish makes it compelling TV for those of us who work from home. I would like to see someone who doesn’t look like an insect win this year though and look forward to riders suffering mightily in the mountains. And then before you know it we are 3 weeks closer to kickoff!!
